Watch how I built an AI-powered bird feeder that detects birds in real time using a custom-trained YOLOv7-Tiny model running directly on the AMB82-MINI!
This video walks you through the entire process — from dataset preparation to deploying your own .nb model on the device using Arduino.
Highlights:
• Download & filter bird dataset
• Train YOLOv7-Tiny (PyTorch)
• Reparameterize + convert to Realtek .nb
• Run it standalone on the AMB82-MINI
No cloud, no server — just a camera, a model, and some curious birds.
Hardware:
• Realtek AMB82-MINI
• SD Card
• (Optional) Bird feeder or enclosure
Tools Used:
• PyTorch + YOLOv7
• Realtek AI Model Converter
• Arduino IDE
Please refer to the project GitHub for the script used here.

Tiny YOLO version 7 is a simplified version of YOLO version 7, which has a much smaller number of convolution layers than YOLO version 7, which means that Tiny YOLO version 7 does not need to have a large amount of memory and hardware performance but lose some of the detection accuracy.
Lets make one thing clear.
The object detector we are trying to build in a low-power MCU environment is a very simple one. For example, it triggers an action when it detects a person, or acts as a kind of switch to take a certain action. For better performance, it is recommended to run the latest full version of YOLO on a device such as Nano Jetson.
